CONTRACT MOWING – DISTRICTS 2 & 4 – PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT – B1316
Parks and Recreation Department requested bids for contract mowing of districts 2 and 4. As of 2011 The City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department has coordinated the bidding of contractual mowing services for the City. In 2011 we received bids for areas broken down by districts as well as specified landscape areas. The contracts were to be renewable for a total of 5 years if agreeable by both parties. To-date we have not been able to confirm renewal for the 2013 mowing season on several of the mowing contracts. This is a one year agreement with four one year renewal periods providing both the City and the vendor agree and funds are available.
After reviewing the bids received for contract mowing, we recommend accepting the low bids for each mowing district, District #2 to Brayden’s Lawn & Landscape for $15,915, District #4, Area 1 to Alpine Lawn Services for $46,760, and District #4 Area 2 to Resource Services Solutions for $33,730, total for all three areas is $96,405. This purchase was approved in the 2013 budgeting process.
